Chris,

You claim:

<<Eight quarters of flat earnings!!! Mean while PLAB and DPMI
are both moving forward nicely.>>

This is not true. Here is a table of the last five
quarters worth of EPS:

DPMI N/A .50 .58 .61 .62
PLAB .44 .46 .46 .44 .50
MASK .28 .28 .29 .26 .28

I see that all companies had flat earnings. DPMI's jump
from .50 to .58 is explained by the first post spin-off quarter.
PLAB's recent EPS increase may be explained by additional month of
sales (they finished the quarter in April vs. March of MASK).
If that is the case MASK should report an earnings increase in the
current quarter.

So why DPMI and PLAB are priced so much higher
than MASK? (Rhetorical question - I know that DPMI and PLAB are
larger and leading edge companies.)

Good luck

Raimondas
